HIS FAITH.

The Way, the Truth and the Life.
Ny erring feet. DER deserts wide,
Have wandered many q day:
Now would seek the Fathers side
II but knew the way.
But devious roads and winding paths
My weary soul confuse:
The night draws on. NO guide she has.
She knows not which to choose
But 10! traveller. strange and sweet
Has crossed this tangled maze.

Across the deepening night!
While on Its face message xlowA
In words Of holy light
Those lines in living glory beam,
With pure, unearthiy ray.
Ny soul, from hence We follow Him
Who says: II am the Way"
Long, long my restless soul has sought
To know the false from true,
And Through the labyrinth Of thought
Pure knowledge to pursue.
'Where art thou, Wisdom." loud she cr1es
''Oh, where canst thou be found:'
No answer from the sullen skies,
Or from the stony ground.
In VAIN through folios vast and rare,
In vain from stored urn,
She seeks, with keen and anxious care
Its hiding place to learn.
Unified, untaught she turns away,
From critic and from sage:
When 10! there breaks Heavenly ray
Across lettered page.
A light that never shall grow dim.
On words of fadeless youth.

Beside bitter sea:
The heavens are heaping cloud and wrath,
To pour that wrath on me.
The day thought SO fair and long
Has persisted in the west.
So life, once beautiful and strong.
Is fading in my breast.
Pale phantons round me seem to fit
And people all the gloom,
While just before my trembling feet,
There lies an open tomb.
But bark! o strong, triumphant voice
From out the bending skies.
1t bids my failing heart rejoice,
My heavy soul arise.
What gracious comfort does IL givei
What sweet surcease OF strife!
My soul, from hence in Him We live,

"FRENCHY."
A Little Drama from Life In a Min
ing Camp.

1t was Sunday afternoon in Galena
ranyon. The day, while the occupa-
tons of the rest of the week went on
very much as usual, wore little differ
ent look from other days. Trade was,
if any thing, rather more active; there
was more going and coming, more
loungers clustered about the saloons.
A certain slicked-up appearance was
noticed, for however careless men may
otherwise be of the first day of the
week, they seldom fail to respect that
part of its observance which forms
their earliest recollections of 1.-THE
being obliged to wear their best clothes.
Among group of miners, in front
of the main saloon, stood man OF
perhaps five and twenty years, deviat-
ing entirely from the prevailing type.
Coarsely dressed he was, as were the
others, but his checked wooden shirt,
worn without suspenders, seemed,
though not over-clean, to have a GER
lain look about it neither slouchy nor
shapeless. as were the garments of the
rest. A little above the average height,
symmetrical of form, with short,
glistening black hair and smooth face,
he was marked figure in this compa-
nv of Adventures, among which night
be seen representatives from dozen
American States and half as many
from the States of Europe.
The subject of discourse was the
alleged discovery of rich gold deposits
in Dutch Guiana The canyon was
poor. The mines, mostly those of low
ores. were irregularly worked or idle
altogether. The miners. many of them
in debt and tired of prospecting any
longer in what they called a played
out country. ready to leave for Fonzer
river, Dutch Guiana. or any where
else providing they could obtain the
means of getting there.
The most interested member of the
group was the man already spoken of,
who was known as Frenchy. Several
months before, while passing a smelt-
ing furnace ut the mouth of the can
yon, l heard some one therein whist
ling the drinking song from La Tray
iata, which sounded very strangely to
my ears in those parts Soon after.
while exploring narrow and rugged
gulch opening into the main canyon, l
came upon miners cabin. the occu-
pant of which was driving tunnel
into the side of the mountain q few
rods away. Upon my appearance he
stopped work and invited me into his
cabin. himself taking pail and going
to spring near by for water where
with to prepare dinner. During his
absence. while watching the fireplace
tight up with the newly-made flames,
l had fallen to humming the air 1,
Balen in Trovatore, when looking
round l beheld my entertainer silently
regarding me in the doorway
.'Can you sing it?" he asked.
''Oh, no." Ireplied. "Ican not sing
any thing"
Thereupon. setting down his pail.
he himself sang the air. in rich barri.
tone voice, with fine effect Then was
certain who it was that had whistled
Verde's music in the smelter. This was
my first meeting with Frenchy.
He was the son of Roman noble. Of
liberal politics, who had lost both
property and life by the insurrectior
of 1913 Thrown upon the world
while q child. he had served in both
the Italian and Spanish navies and

THE FUTURE OF SOUTHERN
FARMERS.

The building OF new enterprises and
the establishment Of new industries in
the South is a hopeful sign of future
prosperity for the farmer. The de
velopment of our varied resources,
mineral, t;mbered and waterpowers, of
course creates a demand for the pro-
ducts of the soil, and thus it will be
seen how the mining and manufacture
ing interests of a community affect its
agriculture. AS the american 4gyt-
cultu,Ist remarks, one need not be an
optimist to believe that the outlook for
the future of Southern agriculture is
more hopeful now than it has been for
a long time past, particularly in those
sections of the States of Alabama,
Tennessee, North Carolina and Geor-
gia whose rich mineral deposits are now
attracting the attention of American
and English capitalists. For years
few large cities of the South have
grown at the expense of the smaller
ones. There are not enough con-
sumers outside of few central points.
The economic balance is unsettled by
an overplus of producers and when
the man of new ideas brings a big
harvest Of perishable products to a glut-
ted market, he finds that successful
farming comprises not only the raising
of good crops, but the ability to trans
fer them into ready money at paying
prices.
Now, with the working of mines,
establishment Of furnaces, the quarry
ing of marble and stone and slate, and
the development of many new indus
tries, there has come precisely what
the farmer needs, viz, the Influx OF
great army of consumers. The build
ing of the many new lines of Compel
ing railways, now projected in the in
terests of these new enterprises, will
give him cheaper freight rates to the
large centers of population, and thus
render him practically independent of
home markets. The ultimate outcome
of the mineral development of the new
South can bring nothing but good to
its agriculture, and its people.

The GOLD LEAF is always gratitled
when our people adopt any measure
or method that makes them more self
supporting, and it regards the fact
that in many sections of North Caro-
lima the farmers are returning to the
old methods of making nolasses, as an
encouraging sign. Recent inventions
enable them to turn out an excellent
article, of both molasses and sugar, We
are told. The reports on the crop Of
sugar cane in the State show it to lie
the largest in twenty years.

The Norfolk Public Le0ger of last
Saturday, commenting on the fact that
Henderson would vote on Monday on
the proposition Of making a corporate
subscription Of $40 900 to the capital
stock of a railroad from Durham to
Henderson, says: 1.-The GOLD LEAF
is strongly in favor of theroad and the
last number is full OF. sensible railroad
talk, giving good reasons why the sub
scription should be made. X i
The rapid growth OF Durham during
recent years, caused principally by the
extension of tobacco manufacturing,
has rendered its trade an object of in
terest; SO much SO, indeed, that Lynch
burg is already building a road in that
direction, and other line is talked of
in addition to the one which is to con-
meet with the Seaboard system of roads,
which latter, according to the as
surances of Maj. Winder made to the
editor of the GOLD LEAF, will certainly
be built, We are more than gratified
at the policy, which is now being
pursued by the Seaboard system, of
building branches and extending its
main line. The road which is being
constructed from Monroe, near the
Southern border of North Carolina
ard Northeastern Georgia to Atlanta
will, when completed, afford an op-
portunity to our merchants Of extepd-
ing their trade in new directions, and
will advance the interests of our port
very materially"
